Good Morning America and Saz's Catering

I'll have to get more information to you a bit later, but Good Morning America gave us a call last week, Friday and contracted our services to provide a BBQ Cookout for the Waukesha neighborhood featured on the At Your House series. We were sworn to secrecy and couldn't discuss any aspect of the show itself. It was crazy. It was thought that about 300 people from the neighbor may show up for the BBQ - ah, not! This blossomed into a huge party for 1500 real fast.

Not worry, Saz's Catering expertise in such matters quickly cranked it up a notch and handled the increase without any troubles.

We also fed the GMA crew breakfast and catered many other aspects of this terrific event. Chef Paris of Saz's was on hand to assist Sandra Lee on her show.

Stay tuned and I'll fill you in on more of the event.

Updated and New Casual Catering Menus

We just finished publishing all of our new casual catering menus. Our Tailgate & Picnic Menu, Lunch is Served and Dinner is Served menus have all been posted on the website for your reading pleasure.

A couple highlights of the menus:

  • Tailgate & Picnic Menu - We've heard from a bunch of our clients who really enjoy picnics ask for this one. How about "Sliders" as a menu item? Well... we did just that. We created a buffet that has Grilled Chicken Breast, Burgers, BBQ Pork, BBQ Chicken and Tenderloin Sliders. Tiny little sliders. (not so tiny, really...) Too cool. Here is a link tot he menu: http://www.sazs.com/Catering/documents/Tailgate_Picnic%20menu.pdf
  • The restaurant has reinvented our homemade potato chips and called them Kettle Chips. They come in the following flavors of Parmesan Ranch, Four Pepper Chipotle and traditional chips. We've added them to our menu too. (Sorry Chef Rob, we're stealing your chips...)
  • Along with our traditional favorites on the Lunch is Served menu, we've created the "Diner Delight". Kind of a throwback to the old Blue Plate Special. Hot Roast Beef or Hot Turkey and gravy with white bread and mashed potatoes. Good lord, this is the perfect buffet dinner for a comfort food fix. To see our Lunch is Served menu clisk here: http://www.sazs.com/Catering/documents/lunch%20menu.pdf
  • We've added some great new entree selections to our Dinner is Served Menu, too. How about a Maple Walnut Butter Grilled Salmon or our Tortilla Crusted Tilapia for you seafood lovers. View our Dinner is Served menu here: http://www.sazs.com/Catering/documents/dinner%20menu.pdf
  • Nancy Sazama has finally given out her famous Cole Slaw recipe. Wow, this should have been on the menu a long time ago. Choose this for your salad the next time you order from any one of the menus.

There's so many more little changes I could go on and on. Follow this link to our website and take a look at the menus. Start on the Tailgate & Picnic page and work you way around to the Lunch and Dinner sections. http://www.sazs.com/Catering/index.html

We've also changed the look of our menus. Here is an image of our Lunch is Served menu. Check out the others, as they have changed too.

The State House Restaurant has undergone a complete menu make-over, also. I'll get to that in a day or two. Don't hesitate to go to our website. All the new menus, Catering and Restaurant are all listed on the web.

P.S. - Stop in to the State House and Try one of new "Milwaukee Inspired". Delicious, new concoctions from Saz and Chef Rob. "Signature Smoked Andouille Sausage" Sandwich is a real killer - Pretzel Roll bun that is out of this world.....mmmmm.
